What surprises you most about this home?

"The entire home is a surprise. The attention to detail, the spacious rooms, the rural setting is only enhanced by the warm, family feeling you get when you walk through the door."

What would your perfect buyer look like?

"Any family would love this home for its open floor plan and wooded setting. Children can play freely in the security of the backyard or at the playground across the street. Great schools and a great location also attract many families to this neighborhood."

If this house were the set for a television show, which one would it be?

" 'Parenthood' would be the show. It's my favorite! Christine and Adam have three kids to fill the rooms with activity. Whether entertaining in the large kitchen/family room area, sitting on the deck surrounded by nature or enjoying family game night in the basement, this home is the perfect choice."

What is the coolest thing about this neighborhood?

"The winding streets, acre-size lots, mature landscaping are a few of the amenities that draw you to this neighborhood. There are no fences allowed and no sidewalks. There are beautiful lakes throughout and the neighbors all take great pride in their homes. Close to schools, Deer Park and the town of Long Grove, so it's a perfect location."
